FAQs

Why should you select a Webasto water or air heating system for your boat?

Boats and yachts are equipped with either a water or air heating system:
An air heating system is suitable for heating the salon and cabins. Installation is quick and easy, the preheat time is short and fresh air operation quickly dehumidifies your boat. The air heating system also features low weight, a compact design and low power consumption.
An on-board water heater offers the comfort of home: Advantages of the Webasto water heating system include dehumidifying the interior of your boat, heating tap water and preventing harmful cold starts by preheating the engine.

Where in the boat can the equipment be installed?

The equipment may be installed in the engine compartment, in the locker or under the transom on your boat.

Does the installation of Webasto heaters affect the warranty on your boat?

No, proper installation does not affect the warranty on your boat.

How does the fuel get to the heating system?

Fuel is extracted from the tank and supplied to the heating system using a dosage pump provided by Webasto.

Is it possible for the boat tank to be completely drained by heating system operation?

No. The heating system is either connected to the fuel return line or with a separate tank extractor. In either case, the intake line does not reach to the bottom of the tank so that a fuel reserve is guaranteed to remain pump provided by Webasto.

Can exhaust fumes leak into the interior?

No. If the exhaust pipes are properly installed according to the instructions, exhaust fumes cannot leak into the interior. A wall bushing is used to conduct exhaust fumes to the outside.

Does the operation of the Webasto heating systems create unpleasant odors?

Thanks to continuous improvements in burner technology and fuel quality, exhaust odor from Webasto heaters is virtually or entirely unnoticeable. This is comparable to the development of modern diesel engines, which also no longer generate smoke emissions.
